I’m only a little bit Belgian but enough to have pride when “my country” celebrates a new record: going the longest of any country without a functioning government.
To honor this record, I suggest a monastic ale paired crash course in terrific Belgian writers: Luc Sante, Raoul Vaneigem and the very strange Henri Michaux just to name a few.

I support this. Raoul Vaneigem has written some of my favorite lines of all time.
Example: “From the point of view of constraint, everyday life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out.”
But of course! The Revolution Of Everyday Life is the most beautiful, impassioned political text maybe ever written.
